'Birdie' Hen of the Woods GF1 (Grifola frondosa) is a favorite commercial strain from the West Coast for indoor cultivation on sawdust blocks. Its a reliable producer that is slow growing. On average, you can expect 1/2-1 lb yield on first flush off of 5 lb supplemented sawdust.

Our liquid culture syringes are ~10ml and come sealed in a plastic sleeve with a sterile 16 gauge needle and alcohol wipe.

Very Healthy LC

It was my first time inoculating a grain. I used my own grain (also first time). I later realized that I did not soak the grain long enough but even still the LC colonized both batches. I also used Lions Mane LC from this company at the same time with the same great results. Also the customer support is awesome!

Thought it didnt work but it works great I love North Spore.

I am new to mushroom growing and decided to start with maitake which in hindsight probably was not the best idea. I didn't realize how slow growing it was, I finally got it to take to grain, and its coming in nicely. I cant wait to fruit it in my Martha tent which I also picked up from North Spore.
